catching up...
Been awfully lazy with the updates since the period when my computer (Windows, urgh...) was dying, and so let me now try to give a brief summary of the ongoings since then.
The Nclave
Progress has been fantastic. Here's how the worksite looked like on 26 November 2006:
The front block is actually completed already, but the pictures are not with me now, so I'll post them up later tonight if I'm not too lazy. Most most exciting. :)
Baptism and Acceptance
26 November 2006 also marked the day when Ad was baptised as a Catholic, and I was officially accepted into the Catholic Church (I had been previously baptised as an Anglican). This marks a key milestone after 13 months of RCIA, spending 3 hours every Sunday evening in church.
There are several more sessions before we finally go through the Rite of Confirmation in June 2007.
Ad getting baptised:
Sitting in the pews after the rites:
Giving testimony as a newly-accepted candidate:
Personalised cupcakes made by the sponsors:
More pictures can be viewed here: http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2098047675.
Bangkok Trip
Headed over to the Land of Smiles from 8 to 10 December 2006 with Ad and the folks at home except for Dad, who preferred to stay home to look after his beloved wheels.
Stayed at The Twin Towers Hotel, which was pleasant enough, but I tend to prefer the convenience of Asia Hotel. Shall switch back to Asia Hotel next time round. Also need to thank God that the recent bombings in Bangkok did not coincide with our visit.
The pics can be found at http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2098094099, but here are some selected pics for convenience in case you don't want to encounter the slooooow loading time of imagestation.
Map-reading outside the hotel:
Lingerie shopping:
Whizzing around in a tuk-tuk:
The big family feast:
Chilling in A&W at Siam Square:
Ok I'll have to pause here for now, as there are too many events to update for December. Will be back tonight to continue the executive summary. ;)
